A team of Focal Points representing government, civil society, and donor’s work with the FP2020 Secretariat, Core Conveners, and stakeholders to drive progress on the country’s FP2020 goals and FPA Sri Lanka has been appointed as a Civil Society Focal Point from September 2018 onwards. 

Family Planning 2020 (FP2020) is a global partnership that supports the fundamental right of individuals to decide, freely, and for themselves, whether, when, and how many children they want to have. FP2020 goal isto reach 120 million more women and girls with contraceptive access by 2020. Achieving this goal is a critical milestone to ensuring universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights by 2030, as laid out in the Sustainable Development Goals.
